Dear Pre-K Parents,

                    Our Pre-K Graduation will take place on
                         Thursday, June 17 at 9:15 am 
                                           in the gym.

       Please bring your child to school at 8:45 am at the usual side door entrance.  You must be prompt. In the classroom we will be putting on their Graduation hats and giving them last minute reminders. Mrs. Cazzasa's Prek- 2 Graduation is right after ours so we have to start on time. Unfortunately we will not be able to wait for any last minute arrivals and will start at exactly 9:15 am. 

           Children are asked to please "dress up" for their graduation. No uniforms are to be worn. 

           Please do not wear bows, headbands or high pony tails. It makes it difficult to wear their Graduation hats. 

             Remember to send back your graduation attendance form so that we have an exact count of those planning o coming. It is due no later than this Thursday. If after you have turned in your form and you have less than the amount stated please let me know so that changes can be made.

                 This Friday , June 11 is an early dismissal day. ( 10:50 am)

                 We are getting so close to the end of school. If any child has a summer birthday and would like to celebrate it in school , please let me know so that we can choose a date. 

              Our unit this week is Ocean Life.  They will be learning about the ocean  and many different types fish such as seahorse, jellyfish  and sharks.  We will also be reading the book  "The Rainbow Fish" .
This beook has a beautiful message about not being selfish and learning to share. 

            We have now finished the alphabet. We will be continue to review  the letters in school especially the lower case ones.  We are reviewing numbers as well. Please continue to practice the letters with your child at home.  

       
          
     
** Please remember to fill out the student health check form  EVERY SUNDAY.  It is located on this class page. Just click on the link. If it is not filled out your child will not be allowed to attend school on Monday . * *
                                                                                                   Have a great week!!

VIRTUAL PARENTS-
   Dear Parents, 
 
     Graduation practice will continue  this week. Please bring your child to practice at 1:00 pm  this Wednesday and Thursday.   Please be prompt. We will meet you there. Please return to pick up your child at 1:40 each day. If you wish to have your child graduate with the class it is imporant that your child attends all practices so that they can learn the songs, hand motions and feel comfortable on the stage. 

     Graduation will be Thursday, June 17 at 9:15 am . Please save the date.  See above for more info.

When we practice the Graduation songs in the classroom please have your child sing along with the class. It is important that they learn these songs and hand motions. 

Please consider sending your child into the classroom full time since the Covid numbers continue to be low. 

There will be no more music classes.   We have returned to art for the remainder of the school year. 
Please sign in using the class code - hnomprek1

Remember NO EATING during class time. 
                                             

Please make every effort to have your child be at ALL of the scheduled meeting times. These meetings are their school time and the children should try and focus on school.  Many of the children are STILL not attending all 3 meetings. It is important that they be present for all the meetings. Each meeting is part of the curriculum that is required in Pre-K. 

 Please show your child how to use the MUTE BUTTON.
Sometimes it is very noisy and would be helpful if they could mute and  unmute themselves.  If I mute them I cannot unmute them.

Thank You. 


                         Thank you for all your hard work and understanding.
                             
                                                                               Sincerely,
                                                                             Mrs. Onorato

There is so much fun and learning waiting for your child to experience!

This will be a fun and exciting year as your child prepares for Kindergarten. We will be learning about letters, numbers, shapes, colors, seasons, holidays, animals, community helpers, fire safety, nutrition, life cycles of a butterfly and frog, insects, dinosaurs, do STEM activites and so much more!

We will be learning all about Jesus and being kind to each other and how to be a "bucket filler"
